EDMST6122 Science Content and Pedagogy 2
This is the second in a series of two units to help out-of-field non-specialist science teachers to develop knowledge and skills of the science curriculum to teach science in years 5-10. In this unit, students expand their knowledge of scientific disciplines to include chemical sciences and physical sciences. They consider how scientific discovery is happening at the margins of scientific disciplines in society and consider the educational possibilities that interdisciplinary science holds. Students examine how a concept-driven approach to science curriculum can facilitate middle-year students working with scientific knowledge in a developmentally appropriate manner. They develop assessment tasks that drive agentic science teaching and constructivist thinking within year 5-10 science. Students explore how learning science can be supported through experiences in and outside of the classroom.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $578
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $578
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
